Worth the price

For only 30k, which is actually below average price of a bowl of pho in the area, the food here is spectacular. Despite the lack of space the food is actually worth it. Overall a good option for vegetarian and vegan.

Pros: The hot sauce is really good, Reasonable price

Cons: The lack of veggies (cilantro only), Small space

Good pho!

Very easy setting and a small store. Only 6 seats inside. Lovely shop though truly authentic.
Pho was 30k for me. It had lemongrass, mushrooms, mock meat 3 types. It was lacking a bit flavour for 5 stars. Wish there were more herbs. Only herb was coriander. But had chilli and lime.
Good size and love that there was lots of meat instead of only noodles.

Good food and absolute best quality price ratio

Great phở with several mock meats - available in small, medium or large (20-30k vnd in November 2023). I ordered a vegan lemongrass thigh on top and it was placed directly in the phở. Unbeatable price.

Pros: Price

Delicious food and simple but lovely atmosphere

Located in an interesting area with lots of great coffee shops but no other tourists in sight!
We ordered the dry vermicelli salad, fried spring rolls and lemonade/ice tea

Really delicious, filling and cheap!

Simple and tasty

When we arrived, only pho was available.
So we got pho. It was very delicious. She puts many toppings like mushrooms, deep fried proteins, mock meats etc and they make the pho extra nice!

Good and cheap

Good Pho, good size for very cheap. They were out of the spring rolls and the cake but the meal was very fulfilling and we didn't need to eat anything else. The tea and lemonade are also good.

Pros: Good portions, Price is good, Quick service

Cons: Limited menu

Authentic vegan street food!

Authentic street food!! 100% vegan. They have the traditional Pho, a special Pho (with more mushrooms and 'chicken'), spring rolls and other street food bites. The place is really small, located far from the centre (30min walking distance from the Cathedral), no tourists around! The two ladies were very nice and one of them spoke English.

Pros: Delicious food, Very authentic, not touristic

Holy Wow!!!

So good. Best Phở we have had. We ordered the Special Phở, the Dry Phở, and one of each appetizer. Every single thing was fantastic. Wish we could eat this every day.

Best vegan pho ever!

This place has a delicious vegan pho with a great tasting broth. In the pho besides the rice noodles there are pieces of seitan, a tofu based preparation and different mushrooms. Also the spring rolls and Vietnamese samosas are delicious. The pho costs 25000 dong. I highly recommend to come by!

Pros: Great food, Cheap, Friendly cook

Cons: Closes at 14h

Authentic pho

Best place to get vegan pho in Hanoi local style. A little out of the way from the downtown core but worth the walk. Can't beat the price either. Also have yummy vegan bahn xeo for only 7000 each.

Fantastic Pho

The best Pho we had during our three weeks in Vietnam. It’s delicious and inexpensive. Highly recommended to try it regardless if you are vegan or not.

Great Pho!

Small street food restaurant but great Pho at a very low price (less than USD1 for a normal Pho bowl. You can choose either soup style ("phở nước" - Pho with broth) or "dry" style ("phở trộn").

The restaurant also has other vegan options each day (e.g. fried vegan spring roll - nem chay rán, Pho roll - "phở cuốn", or roll with herbs - "nem thính chay cuốn").

Just to note that the fried spring roll has onion inside, which might not be suitable for some Buddhists following the Mahayana philosophies

Pros: Very cheap. Great Pho quality

Cons: The restaurant is small so can only accommodate, around 10 people
